A small critique of that project - a large portion of the websites included are simply personal sites for developers - nothing barely more technical than a business card or CV. I would exclude those or categorize them differently, as to me their "usefulness" seems relatively edge case.

    I clicked on 6 sites

    • 4 were personal portfolio sites

    • 1 was a personal blog

    • 1 was a web design company

    Pretty disappointing, and I'm not going to keep clicking on more in the hopes I find something interesting

    They are useful for those people though. You can put a QR code or URL on your business card and it will give people all the information they need for your businessor something.

    I don't think anyone is arguing that having, like, websites are useful. But if they're not particularly interesting then it doesn't really fit here.

    The point of something like this is generally to come up with interesting/creative/useful things within arbitrary resource limits. Not just a bunch of really really limited boring stuff.

    That's not one of their requirements. You might want to look at a different competition.
